New Faces at the Crossroads The World in Central Indiana
Author: John Sherman, Jeffrey A. Wolin

To capture and celebrate these changes, New Faces at the Crossroadsfeatures portraits of 30 recent newcomers from around the world by award-winning photographer Jeffrey A. Wolin, accompanied by stories of why they came to the area and their perspectives on living there.

From Bart Peterson, Mayor of Indianapolis

"New Faces at the Crossroads illustrates the recent dramatic changes to the human landscape of central Indiana. Together, native-born and foreign-born Hoosiers are learning not simply to talk about 'diversity,' but to live it."
